| Manchester United’s Nemanja Matic in action with Swansea City’s Jordan Ayew |
Manchester United midfielder Nemanja Matic is enjoying the positive dressing room atmosphere at his new club and believes that such team spirit will help the club cope with pressure over a long season.
United have won each of their first two Premier League games 4-0 and are top of the table on goal difference. Their dominance against West Ham United and Swansea City earned praise and fuelled fansโ hopes of a first league title since 2013.
Matic, who joined United from champions Chelsea in July, played a key part in Jose Mourinhoโs side picking up consecutive victories and the Serbian credits the results to the playersโ unity off the pitch rather than individual performances.
โItโs just the beginning of the season, but I am confident,โ Matic said.
โItโs always special when you play for Manchester United and there is always pressure, but we are ready to cope with that.โ
United will return to the Champions League next month after winning the Europa League in May.
โThe group is great, we are all friends in the changing room and thatโs very important. The season is long, so we have to have a good group, have good communication, and this team has that. Iโm happy to be a part of this.โ
Matic says the team are not becoming overconfident after notching two wins and are looking ahead to Saturdayโs match against Leicester City, champions in 2015-16.
โWeโre not getting carried awayโฆ weโre two games into the season and weโve got another tough game against Leicester City next week, which wonโt be easy. Iโm just pleased to be playing,โ Matic added.
